Today is the kind of day that candidate Joe Biden said he was uniquely prepared for.

Congress is gone, domestic policy has been momentarily pushed aside, and global crises are colliding. President Biden awakens to the burden of his promises with a busy public schedule completely focused on foreign policy.

He receives an update on the situation in Afghanistan from his national security team in the morning, has two bilateral meetings with new Israeli PM Naftali Bennett before noon and hosts a late-afternoon Zoom with governors who have volunteered to help resettle Afghan refugees.

Here's what to expect in the day ahead.
